Flash Flood and Tornado Risk Update, 8:40pm

There are two areas of serious flash flood concern tonight, both are circled below:

In some parts of both circled areas, more than four inches of rain have already fallen. Serious flash flooding may develop during the night.

With regard to the tornado threat, the isolated storms you see from central Kansas to southwest of Ft. Worth have prompted a number of tornado warnings. One is still in effect near Shattuck, Oklahoma. While the chance of tornadoes is not high, one or two still may occur from these supercell thunderstorms.
